She explained that the Ebonyi Police Command has launched investigation into the incident to unravel those behind the gruesome killing.

Odah, while confirming the case, said: “Some gunmen went to one Sunday Nwafor’s house. Sunday Nwafor is about 30 years old and a member of Ebubeagu security outfit, Ikwo Local Government Area. The gunmen broke into his room while asleep and shot him dead. They dragged his body outside the room and beheaded him.

“The wife said before she heard a gunshot, she over-heard one of the hoodlums telling her husband that he left them in the bush and came back home to enjoy himself by collecting N30,000 from the government. Two suspects have been arrested. The investigation is ongoing. This act is barbaric and an act of inhumanity.
